Militta has repeatedly talked about the style of oriental women, especially we devoted a lot of publications to Sheikh Moza and in the future we will return to her images, but today I wanted to look at Al-Mayassa Hamad Al Thani and the younger Hind Hamad Al Thani.
Qatar is an absolute monarchy, the Al Thani family rules here, therefore Al-Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani and Hind bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani can be called Qatari princesses, but they usually call them Sheikha.
Al-Mayass and Hind have a minimum age difference, they are the same weather. The eldest Al-Mayassa was born in 1983, and Hind was born in 1984, she celebrates her birthday on August 15th.
Hind Hamad Al Thani 
Qatar has huge oil and gas reserves, which are very easy to extract and sell, in addition, Qatar has a very small population and is always warm, therefore, the opportunities for the Al Thani family are truly fabulous. Perhaps never in the past have the rulers of the East had so much wealth as Al Thani owns today, because oil and gas is energy, and it means much more than simple gold.
In addition to the oil and gas industry, Qatar is developing the metallurgical industry and is doing it very successfully. According to the IMF, this small country has been leading the world in terms of GDP per capita by a large margin over the past few years.
Qatar is an Islamic state, therefore, there are restrictions under Sharia law. A rare woman can shine in fashionable outfits, pose for photographers and be active. Al-Maiyassa and Hind are well educated and hold important positions in their world, but they can't afford to be self-admiring on social media.
Al Mayass has Twitter, facebook, Instagram pages, Hind has only facebook, but the princesses have almost no personal photos there, mostly photos of other people, conferences and various events.
Hind Hamad Al Thani 
Any girl from Voronezh or Saransk can afford any photos on Instagram. Photo in a seductive dress, in shorts and even an open swimsuit! And Al-Maiyassa and Hind can afford any outfits, but only at home, behind closed doors. At the same time, Al Mayassa is considered a very influential woman in contemporary art.
Perhaps in the future they will be able to afford much more, because their mother Sheikha Moza put good start and now is .
The Younger Princess - Hind Hamad Al Thani
The wife of the former Emir of Qatar, the mother of the current Emir Moza bint Nasser al Missned (Sheikha Moza) is able to shake all the prevailing ideas about the women of the East. The first lady of Qatar wears elegant dresses (by the way, she is a fan of the Russian designer Ulyana Sergienko), does not wear a veil, participates in social events and political meetings.
early years
How is this possible in a country where women dress in black from head to toe, cannot participate in political and social life on an equal footing with men, and only recently gained the right to drive?
Perhaps Moze was lucky with his parents and husband. She was born in the family of a large Qatari businessman. The father did not mind that his daughter was educated as a sociologist in National University Qatar. And her husband, the crown prince, whom she married at the age of 18, allowed her to graduate from the institute. Moreover, Moza completed an internship at leading US universities.
Of course, her life was a little like a fairy tale: Moza faced all the realities of life Arab East. The emirs of the Al Thani clan, from which her husband came, seized power in Qatar back in the 18th century. Since then, no one except members of this family has the right to rule the country. Qatar still has an absolute monarchy: the emir appoints the prime minister, members of the Council of Ministers and the Advisory Council. The power of the monarch is limited only by Sharia law.
Motherhood
Sheikha Moza is the mother of seven children. She had five sons and two daughters. In 1995, when Mose was 36, her husband Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani (with the support of other family members, it is said) staged a bloodless coup in the state. He dethroned his own father, who was on a business trip in Switzerland, and declared himself emir.
Upon learning of the coup, Khalifa bin Hamad publicly renounced his son, and six months later he even undertook to regain power and title - however, unsuccessfully. In response, his son and the new emir, with the help of American lawyers, froze all his father's foreign accounts, so that new encroachments on the throne became impossible. As a result, bin Hamad was able to return to the homeland of Caliph only eight years later, when he finally reconciled with his son.
Sheikha Moza is not the only wife of her husband: the former emir has three official spouses, and she is the “middle” of them. However, the children of Moza became the heirs of the title. Her eldest son Jasim was predicted to the throne, but in 2003 he announced that he was relinquishing his rights as crown prince in favor of his brother Sheikh Tamim.
“We tried to raise our children as ordinary people. When I returned home, we talked with them about everything: what I did, what I saw, what they think and how they would act. It is very useful to listen to the opinion of young people. After all, everything we do is for them,” says the sheikha.
Public activities of Sheikha Moza
Moza herself, when the children grew up, actively took up social life. She stated that she wants to make Qatar a secular state that respects human rights. By the way, it is indeed considered one of the most liberal countries in the region.
With the coming to power of her husband, the situation of women in Qatar has improved markedly. They got the right to vote, the opportunity to drive a car and choose clothes to taste. True, not all conservative families agree to allow this. But Moza made a bold move: she set an example by appearing in public without a veil in 2002.
Sheikha Moza has a number of state and international posts, which is rare even for the wives of rulers in the states of the Persian Gulf. She is the head of the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and community development, President of the Supreme Council for Family Affairs and Vice President of the Supreme Council for Education.
In 2003, UNESCO appointed her Special Ambassador for Basic and Higher Education. Moza tries to popularize international projects to improve the quality and accessibility of education, and pays special attention to the rights of women and children.
In 2003, with the assistance of the sheikh, the “City of Education” was opened in Qatar - a university campus that includes international-class universities, as well as branches famous universities United States, where lectures are given by the best teachers. Students from different countries world: half of the students are foreigners, which indicates a good level of teaching and prestige.
She also established the Arab Democratic Fund, to which her husband made an initial contribution of $10 million. The foundation's mission is to promote the development of free media and civil society.
In 2007, Forbes magazine listed Moza as one of the 100 most powerful women in the world, and The Times named her one of the 25 most influential business leaders in the Middle East.
Rumor has it that the sheikh has a difficult character, which is not surprising: to win her place under the sun in a society whose laws are harsh and which has been ruled exclusively by men for many centuries is not an easy task. But the people love Moza. The women of Qatar are especially grateful to her.
“Her Highness is the best thing that has happened to Qatar. She inspires us all. With her coming to power, Qatar has changed 100 percent,” they say.
Sheikha Moza is the second wife of the former Emir of Qatar. She is an unprecedented example of how a woman, staying in such a conservative eastern country, could become a style icon and one of the most influential people in the political arena.
Sheikha Moza ( Moza bint Nasser al-Misnad) received an excellent education and holds a bachelor's degree in sociology. This woman is considered a high-profile specialist in matters of external and domestic policy countries. Sheikha Moza became one of the first wives of the emirs, who accompanied him to all official receptions.
The time when Moza's husband Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani was in power is called by some the "matriarchy of the emirate". They say that he married a third time only to show Moze that her power is not unlimited.
Another clear confirmation of the strong influence of the sheikha on the political situation in Qatar was the fact that in 2013 her husband voluntarily abdicated, and her son Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani became emir. But he is not the eldest son in the family, and according to Eastern laws, he would never have been the heir to the throne.
Sheikha Mozah is considered a style icon, she is a cult figure in the fashion world. Looking at her perfect figure, it's hard to believe that this woman has seven children.
It is admirable that Sheikha Moza manages to look elegant and impeccable, and at the same time not deviate too much from the religious requirements of her country when choosing clothes. In her wardrobe there are stunning floor-length dresses, wide trousers, jackets. A turban is obligatory on the head.
She even has her own Instagram page, where Sheikha Mozah regularly posts photos from her Everyday life. Numerous subscribers never cease to admire her impeccable taste and sense of style.
Sheikha Moza, the wife of the former Emir of Qatar and the mother of the current Emir, has long been a trendsetter, and all over the world. This elegant lady managed to show the whole world that even in an oriental state one can look elegant and beautiful.
But this post is dedicated not to Moza, but to her children, and she has them ... seven: five sons and two daughters.
Of course, Moza is not the only wife of her husband, officially the former emir has three wives, but it was the son of Moza who became the next emir.
Importantly, children, for the most part, have inherited, to one degree or another, the beauty and grace of their mother.
